Comedy Music Theatre
Sunday 10 November 2013 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 4 November 2013
TODAY IN LONDON rarely-silent TV chatterbox Gyles Brandreth, brittle singer-songwriter Josh Ritter, and seven international playwrights all feature in the following TW-recommended events…
COMEDY: Gyles Brandreth – Looking For Happiness, Millfield Arts Centre, 10 Nov (pictured)
Edmonton’s Millfield Theatre should consider itself very, very privileged to host Paul Merton’s favourite ‘HIGNFY’ guest pannelist Gyles Brandreth, who’s out tonight to spill stories on his life in theatre and politics, and his quest for contentment. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Josh Ritter, Barbican, 10 Nov
All the way from the US of A, singer-songwriter Josh Ritter deals a pack of cutting confessionals from his sharp-edged seventh album, ‘The Beast In Its Tracks’, in an all-acoustic show of (little) faith. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: BAREtruth – Theatre Uncut, Southwark Playhouse, 10 Nov
BAREtruth, Amnesty International and Theatre Uncut co-endorse this hour’s worth of short plays written in response to the pertinent question “do we all get more right wing in times of austerity?”. Neil Labute’s ‘Pick One’, to pick one, centres on a discussion of which of America’s ethnic minorities should be wiped out to benefit white people; whilst Clara Brennan’s ‘The Wing’ looks at the relationship between a pro-EDL father and his activist daughter. Details and tickets here.
